Artest is going to scare all our opponents so much before the game that they'll all forfeit. 82-0 regular season. 16-0 in the play-offs.  ;D ;D

Psshaw.... No one in our (tatooed) starting backcourt may weigh more than 180 lbs... but neither of them are afraid of Artest or Dopez:



Now, Howard might break them in 2, but they'll not back down....

Allen Iverson's may not have a heart of gold...but he's so unbreakable he's got one made of Diamonds. But he wears it on his sleeve so people can see.

Anyone willing to trade me a 7th and a 9th for 2 8 rounders (16,19)  I'd like the 7th rounder to be in the mid to early range if possible.

I know.  :P  I was hoping for a nice, relaxing, non-draft day tomorrow.  Looks like I'll have to show up and make my pick after all.

76ers send: Mo Williams and Stephen Jackson

Clippers send: Ron Artest, Brendan Haywood, and Rafer Alston

On first glance, I like the 76ers "get" in that trade much better than the Clippers, but Stephen Jackson is (a) a little underated and (b) a borderline impact player/lunatic and Mo Williams i younger/better than Alston.  I think Haywood is underated as a lower tier starting cetner too.

on a completely different subject, while we're waiting for the 7th round to commence....:

One Man's Take On Each Division

Atlantic: Nets
Central: Pistons
Southeast: Magic

Northwest: Blazers, although I can see Minnesota challenging
Pacific: Phoenix but I feel GS and the Clippers are right there
Southwest: Houston but the Mavs are close

I'll repeat a suggestion I made in the chat a few days ago, and will gladly take on some of the tabulation work to make it happen:

After the rosters are finished and trading has been finalized and we "justify" our teams ---- each GM makes a 1-15 ranking of the opposite conference's teams (so they have no vested interest....).  

I volunteer to tabulate the 30 rankings to get our 2 sets of teams in each conference:  8 teams in the PLAYOFFS (with NBA-style seedings (i.e. 1 team from each division in the top 4 seeds) and 7 teams in the Lottery, in each conference.

for the PLAYOFFS --- we'd post the matchups and have either each team write why they'd win or find 2-3 "judges" write up an anylsis.... and vote on who would win each round (not just "best team" but who matches up and would win the round...All the way through to the finals.  Who, knows, with homecourt advantages, etc, there could be an upset along the way, etc. 

IDEA, #1a: we could also see if Steve W. would like to post these matchups in his AROUND THE NBA section on CBlog and let everyone on CBlog vote... it would be a fun way to show "the community" what we 30 nuts have been doing for 3-4 weeks :)

for the LOTTERY --- we'd vote on which teams (maybe top 3?) have the best chance to win/challenge for a title (a) the quickest and (b) in say 3-5 years....  (this is a little less cut and dry).

What do folks think?  I think it woudl be an interesting way to "crown" a winner. 
PM me if you'd like to help and PM or post if you think it's a good idea.
